CMOS devices boost camera speeds

By using a single highly integrated CMOS device, Silicon Imaging has developed a very compact, low-power, ultra high-speed digital camera system.

Kane Computing has signed a distribution agreement with Silicon Imaging to sell its range of cameras in the UK.

Deltapix has also released a new range of cameras.

Silicon Imaging manufactures a range of high-speed digital video cameras, ranging from 1.3Mpixel to 14Mpixel, supporting a number of interface standards including CameraLink, USB and GigE Ethernet.

Driven by the growing demand for consumer digital still and high-definition video cameras, CMOS sensors are continuing to break technical barriers and surpass the performance characteristics of CCDs in many photonic, imaging and consumer applications.

By using a single highly integrated CMOS device, which incorporates large pixel sensing areas, timing generation, signal processing and high bandwidth outputs, Silicon Imaging has developed a very compact, low-power, ultra high-speed digital camera system.

Deltapix Invenio Megapixel cameras for microscopy applications use CMOS technology and USB communications.

They are compact and include standard C-mount interface for easy attachment to microscopes.

The Invenio 1D (1.4 Mpixel), 3D (3Mpixel) and 5D (5Mpixel) can operate under low-light conditions using a CCD format of up to 5.7 x 4.28mm.

Digital outputs include uncompressed (24/36 bit), loss-less JPEG2000 and JPEG.
